Musical Style
Taylor's musical style is country music; another name is Contemporary Country.
"Love Story" was released in September 2008, This song is mid tempo and it is accompanied by banjo and guitar. Taylor Swift described "Love Story" as "a love that you've got to hide becasue for whatever reason it just wouldn't go over well. I Spun it in the direction of Romeo and Juliet; our parents are fighting. I relate it to more as love that you cannot really elaborate on, a love that maybe society wouldn't accept, (or) maybe your friends wouldn't accept." I personally really like this song, it's one of my favorite songs. It's one of those where when you hear it on the radio you turn it up really loud and just start singing to it. This is just a really upbeat and happy song, and anyone who enjoys listening to Taylor Swift, will definately love this song.
Love Story
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo, I was scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they're tryin to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Taylor Swift

Love Story
We were both young when I first saw you

And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and thats all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh,
Oh, oh
Cause we we're both young when I first saw you...
